                                SCHEDULE

  Mr. LOTT. This morning, the Senate is resuming its business following 
the August adjournment. There will be a period for morning business 
until the hour of 2 p.m., with the first 90 minutes under the control 
of Senator Daschle or his designee and the second 90 minutes under the 
control of Senator Coverdell or his designee. Immediately following 
morning business, the Senate will begin consideration of H.R. 3666, the 
VA-HUD appropriations bill.
  As a reminder, there will be no rollcall votes during today's 
session. I hope amendments, though, will be offered and debated on the 
bill today, with those votes to occur tomorrow morning, hopefully, 
beginning at 9 or 9:30. I hope we complete action on the VA-HUD 
appropriations bill early this week so we may consider other available 
appropriations, as well as conference reports for such bills as the 
D.C. appropriations conference, the military construction 
appropriations conference, the legislative appropriations conference, 
as well as the Defense authorization conference report.
  Also, this week we have a consent agreement with respect to the 
consideration of H.R. 3396, the Defense of Marriage Act. All Senators 
should be prepared for busy sessions of the Senate this week and the 
weeks to follow as we prepare to complete our business prior to the 
adjournment of this Congress.
  Also, I should note that under the unanimous-consent agreement with 
relation to H.R. 3396, the Defense of Marriage Act, there were four 
amendments on each side that were provided for, and those amendments 
will need to be filed by 5 o'clock this afternoon or exchanged, so we 
can get a chance to look at the amendments that might be offered on 
Thursday of this week.
